Iodine - Iodine is of crucial importance in the nutritional support of thyroid function. The clinical evidence is that hypothyroid function can be caused by either too little or too much iodine. Most individuals probably get enough iodine from food and multi vitamin-mineral supplements.
Vitamin E - Vitamin E assists in the absorption of Iodine. Vitamin E facilitates selenium metabolism and is therefore critical for normal thyroid function. Excessive supplementation of vitamin E without selenium may deplete selenium and therefore contribute to thyroid disease.
Selenium - Selenium is a component of the enzyme that helps convert T4 to T3 peripherally, so deficiencies of selenium may impair thyroid function and promote hypothyroidism. Some experts believe that low T3 levels may be characteristic in areas with insufficient selenium. Studies also show that excess intake of selenium may also depress T3 levels.
Forskolin - Forskolin is an extract of an Ayurvedic herb that resensitizes cell receptors by activating the enzyme adenylcyclase and increasing the levels of cyclic AMP in cells. Cyclic AMP is an important signal carrier that is necessary for the proper biological response of cells to hormones. Cyclic AMP is essential to synthesize and regulate thyroid hormones, growth hormones, cortisol, DHEA, testosterone, melatonin, and other hormones.
Ferulic Acid/Gamma Oryzanol - Ferulic Acid/Gamma Oryzanol has anti-ulcer, anabolic, anti-stress, thyroid-stimulating & hormonal properties. It also can reduce the incidence of hot flashes. Both of these phytonutrients have shown significant antioxidant powers in research studies as well as anti-stress, anti-ulcer, and anabolic properties. Both ferulic acid and gamma oryzanol occur widely in plants, most notably in rice bran.
